    NBA players don't get suspended for roids or HGH Only 5 games sounds like it was just weed, if it was anything like Cocaine, PCP, Meth etc.. then you get smacked down hard like OJ Mayo.

    Justice served to Thabo for hitting that three pointer that should have never counted in the 2013 playoff series. We seriously could have won that game, Perkins held Parsons during that play.

    He blew so much money... should have taken it. In talking with a Dallas guy, he'll have games where he has nothing right out of the gate and Carlisle will bench him after a couple of possessions. He doesn't have what Capela has -- a drive to improve. He kind of tries to defend everything and hasn't shown a great ability to team defend. My understanding is ownership offered the money and the coaching staff went to Cuban like, "What?!"

    He may need to take a one-year deal somewhere to try to prove himself.

    So Dallas did offer him that big contract? Because there were some posters here that were skeptical that he received an extension at all from the Mavericks. Sounds like their coaching staff and ownership are not on the same page.

    The only way to avoid that was was to be a Laker. After every game the laker players would all do coke off of strippers' t*tties/asses with Dr.Buss. People say Magic got AIDS from sodomy, but after hearing that I'm sure it was a dirty needle.

    Probably weed. But Rashard Lewis got suspended ten games for taking something over the counter so there are other banned substances.

    Well, 5 games ends the season for both of them. Now, we really need to know what the banned substances were to know if their careers are affected. I doubt it was for testosterone.

    It isn't shocking that he is struggling. He had a very poor upbringing. He was not paying his bills, he was bouncing his account, he had judgments against him. His landlord sued him for damaging the house he was staying at. He had "piss bottles" all over the home when he moved out, he didn't let his dog out so there was pee and waste all over the place. There was mar1juana reside and debris in the home.

    If he cannot take care of himself and has no guidance, then there is no surprise that he cannot prepare or compete against men in the NBA.
